Ideal laser waveform construction for the generation of super-bright attosecond pulses

Abstract

A new scheme is proposed to synthesize an ideal laser waveform via the superposition of few-cycle and half-cycle pulses with an optimized delay time or laser wavelengths and intensity matching. The numerical analysis confirms that this scheme is much more efficient for supporting the production of an isolated super-bright attosecond pulse, which provides a way in the final realization for the attosecond pump and attosecond probe techniques.
